Chapter 37: The Burning of the Shrine

Liu Zhuo didn't rush to attack the Yellow Turban Army, this guy is a thief, it was not easy to have this bit of family foundation, of course, it is impossible to squander it, more than 10,000 people and horses seem to be a lot, in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, hundreds of thousands of horses Although it is a rabble, but there are more ants to bite the elephant to death, if it is a head-on impact, who knows how many people will die? Knowing that Huang Pusong was trapped in the Changshe Society, he only launched a fire attack in May, and now it is April, and the time is completely late, and this thief is going to cut off again. You must know that the fire attack strategy is not used casually, the main thing is to wait for the right wind direction, but also to have a strong enough wind, so that the wind can help the fire, the fire is fierce and the enemy army is caught off guard. If the normal wind does not help the fire, and the enemy discovers it and flees or extinguishes the flames early, it will not work at all. The specific affairs of the fire have been handed over to Tian Feng and others to be responsible, Tian Feng and Liu Ye also feel that this method is the most wonderful, the lord is right, if it is a strong attack on the Yellow Turban Army, 10,000 against hundreds of thousands is difficult to say to win, even if it is to cooperate with the Huang Pusong army of Changshe to achieve victory, the cost is very great, and it is difficult to say how many troops can be left on their side.

This year, the weather is abnormal, it has not rained for a long time, the dry weather is a good time to kill people and set fires, but wait and wait is not a good wind direction, even if there is a wind direction, the breeze can not work, waiting is a very painful thing, a flash is nearly ten days have passed, waiting for people are irritable and abnormal.

In the blink of an eye, it is almost the middle of April, and the wind is starting at dusk on this day, and the wind is slowly getting stronger, and it is estimated that it will be stronger at night. The whole camp suddenly became lively, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion began to eat, and then packed their bags and prepared to pull out the village and set up camp. Before leaving, Liu Zhuo raised his account and issued a combat order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this operation is focused on surprise attacks, the Yellow Turban Army has hundreds of thousands of horses, if we are a head-on confrontation, it is difficult to say how many of our more than 10,000 horses are left, as a leading general, we must always remember to cherish the lives of soldiers, we must learn to fully consider various factors before each war, choose the best tactics to reduce the casualties of soldiers, therefore, if the clumsy tactics of assault are not a last resort, they must not be adopted. Therefore, I decided to use fire to attack, and use the power of the wind to ignite the fire of the plain, causing panic and confusion among the Yellow Turban Army, and our army took advantage of this opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. After the various departments arrived at the designated location according to the order, they lit a fire in turn to burn the camp of the Yellow Turban Army under the light of the fire here, and the spread of the fire will inevitably lead to the chaos of the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army, and the rest is your chance to make meritorious contributions. Ladies and gentlemen, let us say behind closed doors that the so-called Yellow Turban Army is nothing more than farmers who have just laid down their hoes, and they are just foolish people who have been bewitched by Zhang Jiao to rebel, and it is not a glorious thing for us soldiers to kill some foolish people. Therefore, this battle is not mainly about killing, and of course those who encounter resistance must be killed, but the first task is to kill the main generals and defeat the Yellow Turban Army. It is necessary to arrest more young and middle-aged people, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are mainly defeated, do you understand? ”

"No, my subordinates understand."

"Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Tai Shici, Zhang Ge, Gao Lan, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin each led 1,000 men and horses, and when they arrived at the designated position, they were ready not to be discovered by the enemy. The remaining 3,000 men and horses were led by Tian Feng and Liu Ye to support the rear army and take prisoners. The other 5,000 men were led by Huang Zhong and moved with me as a Chinese army. ”

"No, my subordinates take the order."

"Okay, let's go down and get ready, and each of them will set off with their troops when the time comes."

"No."

Liu Zhuo's army also adopted the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty at this time, with five people as a team and a team commander; Two soldiers are one, and one chief is appointed; Wu Shi is a small team, with a principal and deputy team leader; The two squads are one team, with one principal and one deputy team leader, and the team rate is the centurion; The two teams are one tun, with one chief and one deputy tun chief; Two tuns are a song, and there is a military waiter. Two songs into one, about 1,000 people, plus scouts, personal soldiers, baggage and miscellaneous servants to form a complete battalion.

The sun sets, and the remnant sun is like blood, dyed red and covered with clouds.

The roar of people and the neighing of horses startled the birds to flap their wings and scream.

War horses step on hooves, swords and swords, and the army gallops across the field.

More than ten miles is nothing for the field army, and according to Jihua, he will launch an attack before the second half of the night, so everything is not hurried and calm. At night, Liu Zhuo led the army to Changshe.

The wind was high and the night was dark, and the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city during the day and fought all day, and they were tired and slept like dead dogs, not knowing that the catastrophe was coming. Everything was ready for the second half of the night, just waiting for the time to come. Nowadays, the weather is unusually dry, and the Yellow Turban thieves do not know the art of war and camp according to the grass and trees, and they really don't know whether they are alive or dead.

When the time came, Liu Zhuo shouted: "Light the fire." ”

"Poof", the firelight suddenly appeared, the signal of the general attack was issued, and in an instant, a string of firelight extended outward, extended, and extended again from Liu Zhuo's side, at first it was like a string of fire dragons spreading into the distance, and a huge semi-circular arc was drawn to the south around the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and the fire suddenly increased with the drumming of the wind. The wind helped the fire to become bright in the blink of an eye in the dark night, and the fire spread quickly, and in a few breaths it rushed to the camp of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the entire camp became a sea of fire.

The camp of the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, the camp tent where the fire first caught fire was ignited, and the dry climate made the camp tent "boom" after the fire suddenly gas high flames, and those who reacted quickly rushed out without caring about putting on clothes, and those who reacted slowly were buried in the flames.

"Drumming," Liu Zhuo ordered.

"Knock knock...... Boom. "The drums of war are beating, and the general assault begins. Nearly 20,000 troops are concentrated in the north, and the other battalions are already waiting in their respective positions in a semi-arc to the south, and the war drums of each battalion are beating, giving people the feeling that the whole field does not know how many troops there are, and the war drums are the order to attack, and the battalions quickly march to the thief camp, and the Yellow Turban thief camp has fallen into a sea of fire at this time. The wind blew south-west, and the wind helped the fire quickly sweep towards the Yellow Turban Army camp, and the entire Yellow Turban Army camp was in chaos, full of people who were roasted by the fire in their sleep, some even their clothes were on fire, most of the people did not know which direction to run, and many people collided with each other. Some leaders ran out of the tent and put up flags to gather their subordinates, but most of them were running for their lives in a panic, and it was even more difficult to concentrate the army in this situation. Suddenly, everyone heard the shouts of killing in the northeast, and the enemy who was galloping with thousands of horses was about to kill, and the swords, guns, and armor were reflected by the firelight, and the killing atmosphere was chilling.

The Yellow Turban Army is known as an army of hundreds of thousands, and it is impossible to count how many old and weak women and children are coerced in it, anyway, there are many old and weak women and children who are now panicking and scattering and fleeing, which adds to the chaos of the Yellow Turban Army camp. Some of the young and strong Yellow Turban Army may still have the fighting spirit of the First World War, and they concentrated in a crowded place, and their actions were just to meet the needs of Liu Zhuo's army, and the capture of these prisoners was the main goal of this campaign.
